Description
Red Africa makes the case for a revolutionary Black politics inspired by Marxist anticolonial struggles in Africa.
Contemporary debates on Black radicalism and decolonisation have lost sight of the concerns that animated their twentieth-century intellectual forebears.
Okoth responds, challenging the claim that Marxism and Black radicalism are incompatible and showing that both are embraced in the anti-imperialist tradition he calls 'Red Africa'. The politics of Black revolutionary writers Eduardo Mondlane, AmÃlcar Cabral, Walter Rodney and Andrée Blouin gesture toward a decolonised future that never materialised - instead it was betrayed, violently sup- pressed, or erased.
We might yet build something new from the ruins of national liberation, something which sustains the utopian promise of freedom and refuses to surrender.
Red Africa is a political project that hopes to salvage what remains of this tradition.
